How to add captions to mov
- 1
Upload your MOV file
Drag your MOV file onto the upload area or click to browse - no account required to start. CentClip accepts MOV files straight from iPhone, Final Cut Pro, or any camera that records in Apple QuickTime format. Your first 5 minutes are processed free, so most short clips cost nothing.

Review and correct the transcript
CentClip generates a time-coded transcript automatically and opens it in an inline editor. Click any word to jump to that moment in the video and fix errors before they get burned in. Editing here takes seconds and ensures every caption is accurate before you export.

Download captions or an exported MP4
Choose burned-in captions to receive a finished MP4 with captions permanently overlaid, or download an SRT or VTT file to attach captions in YouTube Studio, Vimeo, Premiere Pro, or any other platform. A plain text transcript is also available if you only need the words.
Why choose CentClip?
MOV files play natively - no format conversion required
Many captioning tools reject MOV files or silently transcode them before processing, which can shift audio sync and introduce errors. CentClip ingests MOV directly, preserving the original timecodes that frame-accurate captions depend on. This matters most for iPhone footage and Final Cut Pro exports where frame rates vary. You get captions that stay locked to the right moment in the video.
Pay per minute, not per month
A subscription makes sense if you caption dozens of videos a week - but most people don't. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no monthly fee, so a 10-minute MOV file costs 50 cents total after the free tier. Credits never expire, which means buying a block of minutes in January still works in November. For occasional captioning work, this model typically costs 80-90% less than the cheapest subscription tier at competing tools.
Captions in 50+ languages without manual language selection
CentClip detects the spoken language in your MOV file automatically, so you don't need to know the language code or set it before uploading. This is useful for multilingual teams, content localized for different markets, and interview footage recorded in a language the editor doesn't speak. Transcription covers 50+ languages; the output - whether burned-in, SRT, or VTT - uses the source language of the audio.
FAQ
How accurate are the captions generated from a MOV file?
Accuracy depends on audio clarity and background noise, but clean speech in a supported language typically produces caption accuracy above 95%. Reviewing the inline transcript editor before exporting lets you fix any errors in under a minute.
Is there a free trial, and what does it cost after that?
Your first 5 minutes of captioning are completely free with no account required. After that, CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no subscription - you buy credits when you need them and they never expire.
What output formats does CentClip produce for MOV captions?
CentClip produces a burned-in MP4 with captions overlaid, an SRT file, a VTT file, and a plain text transcript - you can download any or all of them after processing.
Do my credits expire if I don't use them right away?
Credits never expire. Buy a block whenever you have a project, and any unused balance carries forward indefinitely - there are no monthly rollover limits or expiry dates.
